Claim: Researchers should not limit their investigations to only those areas in which they expect to discover something that has an immediate, practical application.
Reason: It is impossible to predict the outcome of a line of research with any certainty.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
I agree with both the claim and the reason that supports the claim. Even when researches can predict specific outcomes of their research, it is impossible to predict the practical implications of their research in other areas.
Researches should determine in advance specific outcomes of their research. In general, scientist are required to determine specific outcomes of their research before conducting the research: firt, becase they scientific method required the state of achievable hypothesis, and second, because most souces of funding base their patronage on the nature of the research's outcome.
On the other hand, they should not limit they investigations to those with predicted immeditate and preactival applications. Even when it is possible to determine in advance certain research's outcomes, to determine the practical applications of a research is impossible. Some discoveries happen by accident like Penicillin. The discovery of the actibacterial properties of Penicillin accurred while experimenting fugi's properties.
Moreover, the practical application of research can be out the scope in which they were conceived. For example, Internet was conceived as a intercomunicated database to be used in the military. Nevertheless, once its comunication potential was determined, individuals and coorporation started to implement its use across different areas outside the military scope. Thus, research's practical applications are impossible to predict in advance. Furthermore, in most cases the inventors do not determine the practical application of their research. For example, the application of research on Absolute Zero was determined by and entrepreneur outside the field of science who saw its potential to be use in refrigeration.
In conclusion, I agree that researches should specify expected outcomes of their research, but determining its practical application is almost impossible
